Jeffrey Booters Point for Clean Slate This Season
Fourteen experienced Looters
will return to Bill Jeffrey's 1941
Lion soccer team. and If the vet
eran mentor's expectations are
gratified. the Nittany soccermen
will garner their first undefeated
record since 1940.
With the season's opener against
Bucknell less than a week away,
Jeffrey has increased the tempo
of drills for his 30-man squad. A
formidable array of opponents
faces the Lion eleven during the
coming year. but with exper
ienced talent deep in every posi
tion. Coach Bill views the future
with cautious optimism.
Chief mos upon which the
"Smiling Scot" is pinning his
hopes are All-Americans Gene
Graebner and Dean Hartman on
defense, and Ken Hosterman, Bill
Shellenberger. and Dean Witmer
on offense.
EXPERIENCED BACKFIELDERS
Graebner. a first-stringer last
season, will find relief at his
goalie post from experienced
shot-thwarters Jim Doman of Lan
caster and Ed Watson of State
College.
